Head Injury in Adolescents

One in five adolescents surveyed in Ontario, Canada  said they have suffered a traumatic brain injury that left them unconscious for five minutes or required them to be hospitalized overnight -

 a statistic researchers in Toronto say is much higher than previously thought.

 

Sports such as ice hockey and soccer accounted for more than half the injuries.
